They're currently walking down the beach, well more like hovering down in Shein's part while Carlo is playing around with his lightning. They talked about this new powers of theirs.

"Why did you choose a butterfly tattoo? And specifically a Mariposa one?" Carlo questioned as he tried shaping his lighting on some sort.

"I love butterflies. They're pretty and colourful, and they fly!" Shein answered.

"Yeah, and they also die within a matter of days." Carlo snickered.

"Okay, thanks for the answer Mr. Pessimist. So what if they die in the matter days? It's quite poetic actually. Nothing really lasts long in this world. Everyone dies, you know that. As long as you're genuinely happy, I think time wouldn't really matter. You wouldn't even feel it. It might just be days for a butterfly to live on your perspective, but what if to that butterfly it felt like a lifetime?" Shein said.

"Geez, Shein. It's just a butterfly." Carlo said with a tint of concern in his tone. The way Shein poetically said her words, it left a tinge of nostalgia and pain to Carlo. A past, he doesn't want to look back.

"Heh, I know. And this thing is just a tattoo." Shein said pointing her wings.

"So, what's the story of your tattoo?" Shein asked, spurring out a new topic.

"I like things fast. I've been a fan of the Flash and Quicksilver since I was very young. And most especially Thor! Even though he isn't really a speedster, he is associated with lightning so that was enough. And you know how lightning is fast, right? So I said I want lightning all over my arms. Never thought I would get literal lightning powers out of these. And now, I feel like a literal god! Nyaaargh!" Carlo exclaimed, finally able to shape his lightning into a spectacular.... Dildo.

"What the actual fuck Carlo." Shein said then she burst out laughing, looking at the giant electric dildo right in front of her.

"I was thinking of a sword!! Fuck!" Carlo said as he tried to make the dildo lightning disappeared.

"That's a very different sword you're thinking there buddy." Shein continues to laugh.

"Speaking of Thor, Hemsworth is really swooning." Shein said as he stares at the pretty stars at the sky.

"Yow mate, dibs on him." Carlo said and stopped on his tracks, as he stare Shein down.

Shein got taken aback by this, she smiled widely and said, "Wait, are you gay?"

"Bisexual, to be specific buddy." Carlo said as a matter-of-fact.

Shein's eyes widen and exclaimed, "Oh. My. God. Me too!! I guess we're bisexual buds now. Bibuds!!"

"Yeet bibuds!" Carlo exclaimed and high fives Shein.

It's been thirty minutes since they first met each other and seems like they've known each other for a very long time now. Officially bestfriends.

They were walking by the shore with the low tides by their feet and the salty wind on their faces, laughing as they pass each other corny jokes.

WARNING: SUICIDE SCENE

They stopped on their tracks when they took notice of a patch of high grasses not so far from them. With an arm dangling right outside of it.

They approached it out of curiosity, and they noticed how there's a tattoo of a normal sinus rhythm right at their wrist. And across the arm, was a deep cut. Blood was flowing out of it, as if they've been killed very recently.

They look through the grasses to see who the person was. She has long gray hair tied in a pony tail. Wearing a flower crown made out of actual flowers, all dried up. She still look fair proving how the act was just done. Wearing a gray t-shirt and jeans. These said clothes covered with drips of blood. A blade was at her other hand. Proving that this was a suicide case.
